GERSHWIN™ desk

Deemed the greatest brother act of the 20th century, the Gershwin brothers’ partnership was bound by unmistakably hardworking blood. Their grandfather, Jakov [Gershowitz], served 25 years in the Imperial Russian Army to earn the right of free travel and residence as a Jewish man. This commitment, in addition to an inherent work ethic, laid the groundwork for the Gershovitz/Gershwin family to later find new life in the United States.
